I dislike both players, but Nikitin's a better option than 4 minutes TOI -2 Ference any day.

I have no idea what to expect tonight after the Oil have had some time off and been getting praise showered on them for a 5 game streak. Lets hope they like the taste of winning and keep it going! Still have a bit of catching up to do before the break...
I really hope Nikitin doesn't end up being a burden, its a barely contained tire-fire on that backend right now.

A tad overdramatic, don't you think? If they win tonight, they have 2 more points in the standings, if they lose then they don't. It's December 14th, this game doesn't prove much of anything but I fully expect the knives to beat out for everything Oiler if they lose this game because that's how this place rolls.
Don't get me wrong, a win tonight would be great and a loss would suck but lets not make it out to be more than it is. Still plenty of season left.
At least Ference isn't playing, that's a victory in itself.
It's obvious that Ference is no. 9 or 10 on the depth chart. He may get some more games in this season, but it's going to be his final one in the NHL. His agent did an amazing job to get him that final contract.
I'm hoping Nikitin can come in and at least demonstrate that he can be a useful no.7 guy for the rest of the season.
I have a hunch Talbot is going to have a really solid game.

I think he'll be back after the christmas break at the longest. It's not uncommon for players to play through something like this in the playoffs depending what finger it is. Tape the cracked one together with a healthy one and have the trainer make an alteration to his glove. I guess it depends which finger it is and which hand. That's my expert opinion...
...Especially considering he was really only interested in playing in Edmonton in order to be close to home. Another MacT brilliant move.

I've got a good feeling going into this one. Not gonna predict a score, but I do think Sekera will score one.

Aldo should not be "given" a rematch, he can earn it. McGregor trains in Jeet Kune Do with Ido Portal, he's the next big thing. Aldo didn't prep right for the fight that's his fault, he even predicted how he was gonna knock him out. I called for a first round knock out, wish I betted on it.
That's it for the off topic talk for me, I just want to see the Oilers come out and compete a full 60 minutes.

I don't mind a Nikitin-Schultz pairing. Honestly, I thought Nikitin looked not terrible in training camp and all reports are he was excellent in the minors.
Actually a little bit optimistic he'll provide some strong play out there.

They can't be that bad as they are making about as much money as the other four defensemen combined, right?
I actually think Nikitin will have a goal and an assist tonight. Whether he assists on an Oiler's or a Bruin's goal is the question, but I think he will pot one on the PP.
